According to Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), if the light source starts moving towards the receiver, its motion decreases the distances between subsequent pulses. As a result, the speed of the pulses relative to the receiver remains unchanged. In contrast, if the receiver start moving towards the source, "the distances between subsequent pulses are not affected" - accordingly, the speed of the light pulses relative to the receiver changes (in violation of special relativity):

Einstein's relativity cannot be saved but the principle of relativity can be restored by assuming that the motion of the light source, like the motion of the receiver, does not affect the distances between subsequent pulses.

Albert Einstein Institute: "One of the three classical tests for general relativity is the gravitational redshift of light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. However, in contrast to the other two tests - the gravitational deflection of light and the relativistic perihelion shift -, you do not need general relativity to derive the correct prediction for the gravitational redshift. A combination of Newtonian gravity, a particle theory of light, and the weak equivalence principle (gravitating mass equals inertial mass) suffices. (...) The gravitational redshift was first measured on earth in 1960-65 by Pound, Rebka, and Snider at Harvard University..."
That is, the Pound-Rebka experiment is compatible with the prediction of Newton's emission theory of light that, in a gravitational field, the speed of falling photons varies like the speed of ordinary falling objects. If the top of a tower of height h emits photons, an observer on the ground will measure their speed to be:
c' = c(1 + gh/c^2) (according to the emission theory)
and their frequency to be:
f' = f(1 + gh/c^2) (confirmed by Pound and Rebka)
where c and f are the initial speed and frequency (as measured by the emitter).
Accordingly, the Pound-Rebka experiment is incompatible with the prediction of Einstein's general relativity that, in a gravitational field, the speed of falling photons varies twice as fast as the speed of ordinary falling objects:
c' = c(1 + 2gh/c^2)
The factor 2 on the potential term makes this prediction incompatible with the frequency shift measured in the Pound-Rebka experiment.
Conclusion: Actually the Pound-Rebka experiment confirmed Newton's emission theory of light and refuted Einstein's relativity.
